'Macy's has appeared on a long list of influential American firms that now prioritize race over rights,' says John Zadrozny, an investigator for the conservative lawfare company America First Legal.' Macy's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging that Macy's discrimination against "white straight men" has been pursued by Macy's as it seeks to recruit more women and minorities. More than 40,000 people have signed a petition against the store, which also includes two nonbinary Broadway stars in the forthcoming Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the store is also fighting a separate protest over wokening.

'Macy's left conservative families with no other option than to not attend this parade and no longer patronize their stores,' said Monica Cole, the founder of One Million Moms.' Liberal companies are tired of liberal businesses boasting a "woke" ideology in their faces, according to campaign supporters. Another conservative group, 'throwing a fit,' to mobilize people against LGBTQ+ rights. Some people attempted to put the issue into a larger context, with two non-binary performers being difficult to detect beneath Snoopy, 'Baby Yoda' Groo, and other beloved characters.

The petition, helmed by One Million Moms, a conservative organisation, says Macy's for promoting and funding this kind of entertainment.' 'It's clear that Macy's does not have our children's best interests in mind.'

Although viewership for several award shows has decreased in recent years, the Tony Awards received the largest audience in four years on Sunday. According to Variety, the 2023 Tony Awards attracted 4.3 million viewers on CBS, up 2% from last year's telecast. Last year's telecast - the first coast-to-coast live broadcast of The Tony Awards - attracted 3.9 million viewers.

On Sunday, Lea Michele and Alex Newell of Gleeming attended the 76th Annual Tony Awards in New York, and fans were quick to point out the recent drama that had occurred on set of the hit series. The scream queens alum, 36, who appeared Don't Rain On My Parade from Funny Girl at the unscripted ceremony, portrayed Rachel Berry on Glee, while Newell, 30, portrayed Wade 'Unique' Adams in later seasons. Former castmates, including Samantha Ware, pleaded guilty to Michele's bullying allegations on set in June 2020, with Newell dropping support for the allegation at the time.

At the 76th Annual Tony Awards at New York City's United Palace Theater on Sunday, Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee made history by becoming the first openly nonbinary performers to receive awards at the event. Newell, 30, received the award for actor in a musical for their involvement in the Broadway Shuck production, becoming the first openly nonbinary performer to win at the competition.

When the 2023 Tony nominations were announced on May 2nd, two nominees made history. J. Harrison Ghee, a "Shucked" actor and "Some Like It Hot" actor, became the first openly nonbinary individuals to be recognized in the acting categories. But, there's also sting: the Tonys don't have gender neutral acting categories, so both Newell and Ghee have been nominated in the "actor" category. The call for gender neutral acting categories at major award shows has grown in recent years, due in large part to the increased exposure of nonbinary actors. Liv Hewson, a "Yellowjackets" actress who plays Teen Van on the show, told Variety in April that they would not be applying for the Emmys at all because of the show's gender-segregated categories.

Lea Michele's last year has been a "eye-opening" few years. Her former co-stars have chastised the "Glee" actress and current Broadway actress with allegations ranging from on-set bullying to blatant bigotry. Michele is now sharing how she handled the feedback in a 7-February interview with Interview. "I think the last two years have been so important for everyone to sit back and reflect," she said. "I did a lot of personal reach-outs." The most important thing, however, was for everyone to take a step back." Samantha Ware was one of the first people to speak out against Michele's suspected behaviour during the Black Lives Matter campaign in 2020. Ware said in a now-deleted tweet that Michele made her first television appearance "a living hell" while working alongside her on "Glee." Ware went on to list "traumatic microaggressions" on the internet, claiming that Michele threatened "sh*t in my hair," although Michele herself claimed in an Instagram post that she did not recall ever making "this particular statement." Amber Riley and Alex Newell, among other Black actors of "Glee," expressed their support for Ware, with Riley later advising Ziwe that Michele "would probably say she doesn't see race" in a December 2022 interview.

In "Funny Girl," Chris Colfer will not see his old "Glee" costar Lea Michele. Colfer, a hit performer, appeared on "The Michelle Collins Show" on Sirius XM's Radio Andy on October 11, where she begged Collins if she was seeing "Funny Girl" after she announced she would be attending a Broadway performance. Collins chuckled and said she was. "Oh, my day just got so full," Colfer said. Collins said she wanted to see Michele because she had seen Beanie Feldstein in the film already. Colfer countered, "I saw 'Six' last night, and it was amazing."
